Unlike most other out-of-place mirrors, this one looked classy and expensive. That lacquer frame with mother-of-pearl inlay surely must have cost its original owner a considerable sum. It actually looks like there might be an interesting backstory to its present unusual circumstance -- perhaps one that involves a misfortunate Victorian-style romance between star-crossed lovers that led to some tragic incident and the mirror becoming haunted (which could explain why it's placed behind the banister -- to keep it "behind bars")...? Ooh!
